August 10, 20178 yr I've come into a pile of parts and am able to make at least one complete system. I have also stumbled onto unRaid after being intrigued by the infamous linustech videos on multiple gamers on a single system. I've got the following parts together in a booting, working system (tried ubuntu): ASRock EP2C602-4L/D16 2x E5-2687W 0 @ 3.10GHz (also have a pair of E5-2670s) 128GB ECC (MB fully populated) EVGA 850 G2 PSU GTX960 4GB other parts available: 1xGTX960 2GB, 1xGT730 various PCIe cards - USB 3.0, Fenvi Wifi/BT from old Hackintosh Drives-a-plenty -- just not many SSDs I currently run Ubuntu server on another machine, with docker serving up plex, sonarr and the like. I have a homemade router running untangle as well. Is it a long shot to consolidate everything onto the above machine, and even virtualize a Windows 10 daily driver for light gaming, Sierra for fun, Windows 7 (move a vm from my MBPro used for work)? Any glaring oversight? Could I scale this down and still have a nicely performing set of vms? Thanks for any input.

Make sure you have VT-d and VT-x enabled in your bios so passthrough works. Don't keep any data dives your care about in the box while testing and use your SSDs as a cache dive.
